Academic UIL Hosting Need

Parents, as you know, our Academic UIL Team is gearing up to compete for the title of champion for the third year in a row. Students have worked hard to prepare for our April 6 competition. This year, we will host the event and want to prepare our building properly to welcome over 500 students and coaches from around the area. We would greatly appreciate donations of any of the following items to help us have a stocked concession stand for students in our building from 8:00 am – 3:00 pm.

You can send donations to school with your kiddo to bring to Mrs. Cashon or you can drop them off at the front office. Thank you for helping us make this the best event ever!

Again, we appreciate your help with anything you can give. Items can be dropped off at the front office.

Gifted and Talented Identification Process

 The window has opened for new CISD students who wish to sign up for qualification for gifted and talented services. Students will be assessed initially using the CogAT and ITBS tests.
